Spilled soup - the crib notes Explaining leaky soup

Trauma and ADHD.. it’s all in there together



Noisy head

Want to scoop up liquid with jagged

pieces of bread

The chunks that irritate my stomach

Scratches, irritates, lining

Turning my insides red


Don’t trust myself

My body

Or my judgement

The trauma infiltrates

Spoon fed in shame cycles

to live within my ADHD

There wasn’t a book

before trauma shed

Bread both drenched, dry and

half-starved

The contradictions that I

question and evict

The soup machine

that sieves through

Still my guts leak


The mysterious goopy concoction

Desired, croutons

Floating in murky

waters of dread

Draw and thin it out

Dissect to understand

Would you want your organs

taken out?

But, it hurts to have them

untouched

Cause of sharp, stabbing pains

Never known

and never found



overlapping experiences and feelings, all mixed in, chunks of bread dipping




which is which?
